Sustainable Corrosion Inhibitors from Natural Sources
Structures, Properties and Applications
Drawing on the author’s extensive experience in higher education and research in functional materials, biomaterials, green technology, and environmental studies, this book focuses on utilizing natural sources, such as plant extracts, to develop materials that support ecosystem preservation and sustainable development. The use of inhibitors as anticorrosion compounds, particularly green corrosion inhibitors, remains one of the most effective, economical, and practical methods of protecting metallic surfaces, in order to replace not biodegradable, polluted and toxicity inhibitors of a chemical nature. The inhibitor acts by a surface adsorption process and…

About 800 years ago, Yosai (Japanese Zen master) said “The tea is a healing elixir, and the art of aging”. On the other hand, tea utensils are made rationally, using every basic material in daily life. The author wishes to interpret, arbitrarily, that Rikyu Sen had much scientific ability to think. Although it seems presumptuous that this book unravels the tea ceremony, also called comprehensive art, scientifically, the authors took a pen to make use of knowledge learnt until now for understanding tea utensils. The “Chanoyu” (Japanese tea ceremony) may…
Can the spirit of “Wabi-Sabi” be seen through science? This book explores the Japanese tea ceremony and its utensils from the field of materials science. While tea master Rikyu Sen perfected his art, his contemporary Leonardo da Vinci was integrating art and science in Europe.

This monograph offers an alternative explanation for the plasticity of solids. According to it the plasticity or brittleness of solids is determined by the spatial distribution of valence electrons—whether isotropic or anisotropic. In the case of an isotropic distribution, a spherically symmetric interatomic potential forms, leading to additional atomic rapprochement, lattice compression, and ultimately the transformation of the crystal lattice into an unstable state with respect to small shear deformations. The effect of defects on the plasticity of solids is secondary. The findings establish a direct relationship between lattice stability…
Plasticity in solids is determined not by defects, but by the distribution of valence electrons. An isotropic distribution causes lattice instability, making solids more plastic but less strong. This work introduces a novel model of a plastic crystal based on this concept.
